This is incredible news. I was just thinking about why there wasn’t any podcasting news reader for blackberry, and this shows up. I hope they allow you to just select which podcasts you’d like to download and let it do it’s work in the background, download. I would love to be able to listen to my podcasts in the car, not necessarily streaming.
That is only going to be good if you have Wifi or 3G. I once tried to come up with a podcast download system and the result was awful because 4 or 5Mb still is too much over EDGE. It takes too long.
.
Even so, 3G doesn’t seem to be anywhere in sight for Blackberry phones, and Wifi pretty much has you tethered to a hotspot which is a fixed location anyway, probably your home or office, so might as well just download the episodes on the PC and drag them over to the phone via USB. I do that every day, it takes 1 or 2 minutes.
.
Or maybe they intend to try and talk us all into the idea of getting some of those small and boring channels that are offered with that lame QuickPlayer application.

HA!!!
Always one to rain on the parade
Personally I think the EVDO BBerrys will benefit with the extra speed
You’re right, I had forgotten there were EVDO ones.
